Shin Megami Tensei NINE: Last Boss Battle Phase II Extended 

Marsh is a Chad

The only disappointing thing about the review was that one attack that kept crashing the emulator.

@@ianmason96 drive shot was so powerful that it hit even the emulator

What a cheesy ass comment. The megaten fandom is either cool as shit or ultra fuckin lame

As opposed to SMT V, where the random encounter theme from III plays when you fight the Demi-Fiend YOU are the random encounter, and the gimmick for the fight is that he'll one-shot you whenever you appear threatening

@@ianmason96 It gets funnier when you just dodge his insta kill with swag. Truly earning the title of Deus (God)

True

You should look at the Strange Journey sprite, dude's ripped af

@@RadiantMantra That's his Debisama design.

WORLD OF STR

Kinda sad they missed this opportunity, because it would have fit better with Persona being the alternative timeline of SMT

@@spawnofchaos9422 Ehh nobody really wants the series to cross over in any way storywise tbh.

@@ils4844 at the risk of sounding like a hot take, I'm completely fine if P5 never canonically crosses over with any other Persona game for that matter.

@@Sune Based

I keep seeing this phrase pop up. What's this a reference to?

@@aramasarenzan3496 it's when you either fail a negotiation or it's a full moon in a random encounter and the demons are so riled up you can't talk to them in the first game shin megami tensei 1. Also " I'll send you to your Graves!"

@@camil2003 oh, that's cool! I haven't played the first SNES games yet, I'm most familiar with the 3DS games and Nocturne HD

​@@aramasarenzan3496If you wanna play it i'd suggest playing the gba version,Just WHATEVER YOU DO,DO *NOT* GO FOR LAW OR CHAOS! I'm not saying this out of preference or anything,But going for either of them makes you miss out on a HUGE chunk of EXP,And the game forces you to grind 20-30 levels at one point to continue the story.

I really hope you don't jinx it by saying that

Yaldabaoth disliked

Dont ya love when ppl say this and cause it to happen? It's like by actively commenting this you want a dislike

@@godfrey4461 that's true, but is it really something to get upset over?

Any updates op?

@TIBdOBiNSON MCgLOBiNSON It has one, but only for the neutral-neutral ending

Just watch Marsh play it :)

@@bash3226 Came here from him, although I can't seem to find a video about the endings of the game

@@spawnofchaos9422 I don't think you'll find any in English, mate

@Benji 64 :0

You mean as in, a badass remix of the normal battle theme of the game's predecessor, indicating that this god is no different from a demon? Yeah, I second that

@@aramasarenzan3496 not to mention the battle itself. all you do is take out a bunch of giant floating heads in Apocalypse, while in THIS battle you actually peel away the boss's godly shell in order to reveal it's true, demonic form-that is *actually* more pitiful looking than it's previous one.

@@christopherbravo1813 to add onto that, I kinda hate how in Apocalypse you weaken god by calling him mean names and shit. Idk but it always just felt cheesy to me. Much prefer weakening him through raw strength like in NINE

@@ephemeralbro yeah, I agree. if God could be weakened by people saying mean things about Him, He'd be an absolute lightweight by the time the game started.

You were speaking some straight fax over here they really disappointed me with the YHVH fight the lazy design of the first phase the underwhelming music which is good in my opinion but does not fit doesn't really fit with a finale of a saga the repetitive theme of the first phase and the the second phase while being good does not really hype me up in time it the sounds it sounds like a final boss theme but it doesn't sound like a final boss theme for an omnipresent enitity who is orchestrated the whole law vs chaos fight so he can stay on top and he finally gets a taste of how it feels like to dethroned from his position to a god into a demon like he has done to countless other gods honestly very underwhelming they really did him dirty with the whole insulting him to weaken him and the power of friendship thing i wish shoji meguro compose the soundtrack because I feel like the soundtrack would be 10 times better if he was in the composer

Yaldabaoth in P5 IS the real Yaldabaoth.

@@jackour8167 No, he's not a demon, he's a shadow collective. Responds to human desires the same way as Erebus and Izanami. Focuses on phenomenon associated with the Collective Unconscious. If he was the real one, he'd be more akin to Ialdabaoth from SMT Nine, or at the very least Demiurge in Devil Summoner.

@@Arexion5293 Every demon comes from the collective unconscious +they all answer to human desires just like when Kaido summoned Pazuzu Persona style + it's stated that demons and shadows are the same thing lol different designs doesn't mean anything. Infact, I'd argue Yaldabaoth from P5 is superior because he actually has a character unlike the garbage we get in other games.

​@@jackour8167 No, demons come from the Expanse. Whether demons care about human desires varies between demons and the game itself. Demons and shadows aren't the same thing at all, where is this stated? I have honestly no clue what you're talking about. But sure, Yaldabaoth in P5 has more character despite being just a shadow collective born through the twisted desires of humanity, same as Erebus and Izanami.

@@Arexion5293the expanse IS the collective unconscious. Stephen outright says that the expanse is made from human thoughts. Now, answer me this. Do you actually, unironically, wholeheartedly believe that the "Collective Unconscious" is something Altus came up with? No. It's from Carl Jung's theory. The collective unconscious. Which is made by human thoughts. Expanse = collective unconscious. Of course you don't. Why would you bother checking Persona games before Persona 3?it's stated in Persona 2. Both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Now, let's get this outta the way. Kaido summoned Pazuzu Persona style and he was the actual Pazuzu. Kisuke summoned Yama Persona style and it was the actual Yama. Bottom line, Expanse = Collective Unconscious, demons = shadows and Yaldabaoth = Demiurge.

@@HuangLongGaming you don't have to insult him

@@HuangLongGaming LMAO

@@HuangLongGaming SMT VIII you idiot.

@Lepus Arcticus Yea i'm playing it now(irl 100%).

@Lepus Arcticus The gameplay is good too. Uzubae(Ame-no-Uzume) is even sexier than she was in SMT VI.
